SUMMARY

You can set up Visual SourceSafe for replication under Windows NT to allow a database to be mirrored on a backup server, and thus increase network reliability. This article explains how to do it for SourceSafe.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. Follow the directions for setting up a replication directory as presented in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    101602 Configuring Windows NT for Replication

  2. Set up the permissions for SourceSafe, which can be a bit tricky. There are two sets of permissions that must be reviewed: Share permissions and Directory permissions. The directory permissions override the settings of the share permissions. Because of this, setting up a share in this directory is a two-step process; you must set both sets of permissions. After setting up the share in the normal fashion, the NT administrator must also change the Security..Permissions to include SS users.
